Dark Tuesday
November 19, updated November 22
I have nicknamed today, November 19, “Dark Tuesday,” as today marks the end of America’s pursuit of legal culpability of a President-elect, convicted of 34 counts to rig an election. Donald Trump, criminal, has eluded sentencing for crimes a jury of his peers have rendered based on their collective apprehension of undeniable fact or lack thereof.
Freedom to arrive at conviction is at risk as well for it has been tampered with by the exercise of power and authority. Today America is not a nation of laws, but a nation of men, who would not stop at suppressing law’s exercise. To be exact, five men and one woman. In a cruel paradox of our times, one universal to be observed was that the dissenting voices in the President elect’s immunity case are all women.
So also, revealingly, is the President-elect’s opponent, a former officer of the court and sitting Vice-President.
Today I recalled a notable event in my brief career as citizen.
I am sitting on a jury about to listen to evidence in a criminal trial. There is time reserved for the presiding judge to instruct the jury as to the task ahead.
The judge, a woman, elected to serve on the bench, a woman of no known affiliation to party or interest, speaks up.
